Jurgen Klopp has launched a passionate defence of Mohamed Salah after questions have been raised over the injured Liverpool forward's loyalties.

The 31-year-old was substituted during Egypt's 2-2 draw against Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations last Thursday with a hamstring injury. Mail Sport understands that Salah could now be sidelined for upto four weeks and has flown back to Merseyside for treatment.

The decision to bring him back to the UK was criticised by Egypts most-capped player, Ahmed Hassan, who had stated that he should stay to support his national team.
